African American Religion offers a provocative historical and philosophical treatment of the religious life of African Americans. Glaude argues that the phrase, African American religion, is meaningful only insofar as it singles out the distinctive ways religion has been leveraged by African Americans to respond to different racial regimes in the United States.
- Explores the history and circumstances of African American religion through: conjure, African American Christianity, and African American Islam
- Focuses on how religious communities and experiences have developed in the African American community
